The DHTML capability in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4, 7.0, 7.1, and 9 may run certain URL commands from a security zone that is less trusted than the current zone, which allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
Buffer overflow in mplay32.exe of Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.3 through 7.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a long mp3 filename command line argument. NOTE: since the only known attack vector requires command line access, this may not be a vulnerability.
Buffer overflow in the Windows Media Format Runtime in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4 and Windows XP SP2, Server 2003, and Server 2003 SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Advanced Systems Format (ASF) file.
Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 executes scripts in custom skin (.WMS) files, which could allow remote attackers to gain privileges via a skin that contains a malicious script, aka the ".WMS Script Execution" vulnerability.
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed Active Stream Redirector (.ASX) file, aka the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability.
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed Advanced Streaming Format (ASF) file.
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed Windows Media Station (.NSC) file.
Windows Media Player 7 and earlier stores Internet shortcuts in a user's Temporary Files folder with a fixed filename instead of in the Internet Explorer cache, which causes the HTML in those shortcuts to run in the Local Computer Zone instead of the Internet Zone, which allows remote attackers to read certain files.
Buffer overflows in Microsoft Windows Media Player 7 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via (1) a long version tag in an .ASX file, or (2) a long banner tag, a variant of the ".ASX Buffer Overrun" vulnerability as discussed in MS:MS00-090.
Microsoft Windows Media Player versions 6.4 and 7.1 and Media Player for Windows XP allow remote attackers to bypass Internet Explorer's (IE) security mechanisms and run code via an executable .wma media file with a license installation requirement stored in the IE cache, aka the "Cache Path Disclosure via Windows Media Player".
Stack-based buffer overflow in mplayer2.exe in Microsoft Windows Media Player (WMP) 6.4, when used with the 3ivx 4.5.1 or 5.0.1 codec, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a certain .mp4 file, possibly a related issue to CVE-2007-6402.
